In my town the lunch pause is the law. Tourists must adjust to our lifestyle.

This is something that has ruined Florence. In the last 5 years many of the historic commercial laws have been relaxed. They have food kiosks everywhere now, grocery stores opened 24 hours etc. The city is ever more banal... less special, less interesting. I love the buzz of 24hr NYC but Florence had it's own atmosphere.

Air conditioning: the pause is a good thing during August because of the heat... but we have the pause for social reasons not because of our weather.

(btw: personally I know no one here with an air conditioned home)
